Audit working paper software replacement project

The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) has acquired CaseWare, an audit working paper software, to conduct its legislative audits of the federal government, Crown corporations, and the territorial governments.

The new audit working paper solution is expected to increase efficiencies and expand the OAG’s capabilities in conducting its operations.

The OAG has been using and relying on TeamMate AM as its core working paper software for over a decade. However, TeamMate AM will no longer be supported, and its end of life is expected in April 2023.

CaseWare alters the way in which personal information collected during the audit process is used, retained, or destroyed. For this reason, the OAG completed a privacy impact assessment to identify and mitigate the risks presented by using new methods of processing audit records.
